Still Life Hints

Red Lantern Club: How can Victoria create a valid pass for herself?

  • 1 of 17: First, you need to find a pass ... even one that won't be valid for Victoria.
  • 2 of 17: It would seem that we need to forge a pass for Victoria, from Stephanie's pass.
  • 3 of 17: A photo ID is going to require a photo of Victoria.
  • 4 of 17: How can Victoria combine Stephanie's valid Club pass with a current picture of herself, to forge a photo ID?
  • 5 of 17: It would require being able to cut Stephanie's picture from her Club pass, crop Victoria's picture to the correct dimensions, and laminate it onto Stephanie's pass.
  • 6 of 17: Where would Victoria find the tools needed to do this?
  • 7 of 17: If you've previously explored Victoria's office, you should recall seeing a few helpful things on one of the desks in the upstairs office.
  • 8 of 17: Return to the office, and go upstairs to where Victoria and Miller have their desks.
  • 9 of 17: Check the desk in the back left -- Claire's desk.
  • 10 of 17: Move into a close-up of the objects on the desk.
  • 11 of 17: Note the paper cutter, and the laminator.  Also, note the "action" hand icon in the upper left corner when Victoria is near the paper cutter.
  • 12 of 17: Select Stephanie's pass, and click the "Use" button, to see Victoria use the paper cutter on Stephanie's Club ID                .
  • 13 of 17: Select Victoria's picture, and click the "Use" button, to see Victoria use the paper cutter to crop her own picture.
  • 14 of 17: Combine the cropped photo with the (now photo-less) Club ID in inventory.  (Select one, then click the "Combine" icon at the top, then click on the other.)
  • 15 of 17: Move to the end of the desk, and into a close-up of the laminator.
  • 16 of 17: Select the combined photo-and-ID from inventory, and click the "Use" button.
  • 17 of 17: Put the combination into the laminator to receive a forged Red Lantern Club photo ID for Victoria.
